The liquid crystal image screen is a passive display system, that is, it does not emit light by itself. The principle of these image screens is based on whether light passes through the liquid crystal layer. This tone, refers to the need - an extra light source is used to generate the image. To this end, an artificial light system is produced in the background illumination system. As the size of the liquid crystal image screen increases, the degree of performance of the background illumination system in the image screens also increases. In this background illumination system, it is desirable to have a small diameter lamp. Compared with the lower gas discharge lamp in the illuminating configuration, the liquid helium is not level, and the low-pressure gas discharge lamp in the background illumination system of the night-day image screen has a smaller inner diameter of 2^ to 35 cm. The diameter and thus the lamp voltage of four to eight times higher. In the liquid crystal display, for example, the thinner lamp of the CeraHght lamp of EP 1 263 02 1 A1 is operated with an operating voltage of up to Volt, and the cold cathode lamp of the cold cathode or CCFL is simply referred to below. It is operated by 6〇〇 to _伏特# electric waste. The lighting voltage used to activate these lamps is typically twice as high. These high-lighting and operating voltages for thin low-pressure gas discharge lamps are generated without the use of transformers because of the low exhaust gas discharge lamp lightning;: Mei Sun Yi + Am Shi μ ^, the original hunting by two series AC voltage Supply. Because these two ACs have 18 turns. The phase difference is such that the electric grind applied to the low-pressure gas discharge lamp is the sum of the two AC bunkers. In addition, these AC castles are generated with moderate reactive power fluxes in the resonant circuit. For this reason, the circuit configuration has a low power leakage in the closed casing of the liquid crystal image, and thus has a small heat load. The circuit arrangement advantageously converts the direct current to an alternating voltage and feeds to one or more of the plurality of lamps, the one or more of which use a full bridge switching circuit of the power switching crying as the current converter and the two resonant circuits (3) (3) 1277369 Description of the invention 缵i Each circuit includes four coils, a series capacitor, and ... Each of the lamps in the circuit configuration includes a full bridge electrical converter and a resonant circuit. This allows any number of lights to be used; it is operated with a Γ; The converter is thus adjustable. The advantage of the Γ converter is that it does not need to be compared to a half-bridge converter. Therefore two half bridges convert two '~〇. Phase work. The power flux under normal operation and the point of the k-party are controlled by the switching frequency .θ, Befeng. The input impedance of the resonant circuit is connected to: 疋 is ohmic, resulting in a power semiconductor of the full bridge converter to reduce switching leakage operation. The advantage of this architecture is that the capacitors are shunted and have a lower voltage load. The wood structure of σσ /, and '辰 circuits can be further developed into three other circuit configurations. Advantageously, the first circuit configuration converts the direct current into an alternating current and feeds it to a plurality of 35, each of which utilizes a full bridge in the power switch: the private path as a current converter, a tantalum series capacitor And two resonant circuits, each of which includes a series coil and a parallel capacitor. A third circuit configuration advantageously converts the direct current into an alternating current and feeds it to one or more lamps, each of the one or more lamps utilizing a full bridge switching circuit including power switching as a current converter and a A resonant circuit, wherein the resonant circuit comprises a series coil, a series capacitor and a _ container. The fourth electrical circuit arrangement advantageously converts the direct current into an alternating current and feeds it to one or more lamps, each of the one or more lamps utilizing a full bridge switching circuit having power switching as a current converter , two series capacitors cry -8 - (4) !277369
